GF Vegan Soy Balls Garam Masala Curry

July 9, 2020
I love a good vegan curry, don't you, too?

This was inspired by an Indian recipe. I couldn't get the main ingredient, but I still really wanted to try it. I made it with my modifications and it turned out amazing!

While many vegan versions of chicken curries use chickpeas, potatoes, or tofu as a meat substitute, I’m using soy balls here. They have such a satisfying, chewy texture. You can use seitan if you don't have to be gluten-free.
